This year's independance day made me wonder about what price is being paid to be this free? With the number of martyrs and innocent civilians increasing by the day both in Iraq and Afganistan, does this independence make sense? Not only for America, but across the world and for centuries, the price of independence has been born out of Political borders. I sometimes wonder that if there were no political borders what would the world be like!!!! A view of an astronaut in space!! All they see is a beautiful earth with blue seas and rugged mountains with touches of a green landscape. It would like as if someone created an art work of beauty.
Alas, that is not what it is. It is a mess of constant power struggle across continents, countries and cultures. And if that was not enough, religion is an addition to it in the recent centuries.
I wonder if even the ones struggling so insanely towards this have the slightest notion of what kind of battle is being fought and what is the objective. I see a lot of bull**** of fight against oppression. Let us for the sake of reasonsing agree to this for a minute. Who is oppressing whom and who is paying the price? Are the leaders who are the drivers of this war paying the price! Or are the innocent civilians or the soldiers? More often than not, it has been the civilians who have to bear the brunt and go through the ill-effects of such a war and in most cases they have nothing to gain for these hardships but lose. The soldiers have been a part of this debacle as well since they have their families left behind to face the aftermath.
I sometimes feel that humans in the process of evolving the sixth sense have lost our basic senses. We kill each other for no purpose!
Nevertheless, this is the time to honor our soldiers who are fighting for our freedom, allowing us to live in a free and independant nation. Let us make it worth their lives. Let us live a life that makes them proud of us.
Happy independance Day!
